IgG2 (subclass specific) polyclonal FITC, anti-guinea pig

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the subclass IgG2. It does not react with IgG1, IgG/Fab fragments, IgM and IgA or any non-Ig protein in guinea pig serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. To identify and measure IgG2, antigen or antibody, at the cellular and subcellular level by immunofluorescence staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates, and to demonstrate circulating antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen or immune complex using a reference antibody of guinea pig origin in the middle layer of the indirect test procedure.This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.Working dilutions are usually between 1:20 and 1:80.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Pools of highly purified homogenous IgG2 isolated from guinea pig serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: Fluorochrome-coupled purified hyperimmune goat IgG, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).

Specificity:
Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to Guinea Pig IgG2, subclass specific

Reactivity: guinea pig

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiserum has not been tested in detail.

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), (In)direct immunofluorescence

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
